How to find the source of wi-fi interference?
There is one office - an average room (open space) with about 70 employees. 2 access points cisco WAP4410N.
So everyone is connected to the network via a wire, but many have mobile devices, and at meetings, management works with laptops via wi-fi.
For the second day in a row, there is a problem with WI-FI: very poor connection, very often interrupted, pings to access points jump up to 4000ms, when connecting to a point on Windows, network identification takes a very long time. Access points are powered by POE. after rebooting the points, the connection is established but not for a long time, then the pings start growing again until they completely disappear. It happens in 10 minutes.
It all happens at about the same time: from morning until 5-6 pm somewhere.
The only guess what the problem is - external interference from some equipment nearby.
Hence the questions: if my assumption is correct, then how can this source of interference be calculated? Is it possible to do this with the resources (and finances) of the IT department of a small company? Or maybe there are some commercial offices that do this?
Or maybe I'm digging in the wrong direction at all, and the problem has a completely different reason?
UPD:
In general, thanks to everyone for the answers, the problem disappeared by itself (for a long time), which confirms my version of external interference.
